2 Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Organization of skeletal muscle fibers Parallel muscle- Fascicles (s.: fasciculus; small bundle; collection of muscle fibers) are parallel to the long axis of the muscle. Convergent muscle- Muscle fibers are spread over a broad area, but all fascicles converge at one common attachment site. Circular muscle (sphincter)- Fibers are concentrically arranged around an opening or recess. When muscle contracts, the diameter of the opening decreases.

3 Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings - Pennate muscle- Fascicles form a common angle with the tendon. Do not move tendon as far as parallel muscles. Unipennate - All muscle fibers are in same side as tendon. Ex.: extensor digitorum muscle (forearm muscle that extends the finger joints). Bipennate - Fibers on both sides of tendon. Ex.: rectus femorus muscle (muscle that extends knee). Multipennate - Tendon branches within a pennate muscle. Ex.: deltoid muscle of shoulder. Organization of skeletal muscle fibers, continue

5 Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Rigid structure that moves on a fixed point, the fulcrum Changes direction and strength of applied force Changes distance and speed of movement Three classes First class: Sea-saw lever (ex.: one involved in extension of neck). Fulcrum (Ful) lies between the applied force (AF) and the resistance (R). Second class- R is located between AF and Ful (ex.: when performing an ankle extension (plantar flexion), calf muscles use second-class lever). Third class- Force is applied between R and Ful (ex.: barbell curl motion). Most common in the body Levers

9 Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Muscles can be identified by origin, insertion and action Origin = stationary end Insertion = movable end Origins and Insertions

10 Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Muscles can be classified by action Agonist (prime mover)- Muscle whose contraction is mainly responsible for producing a particular movement. Ex.: biceps brachii muscle is an agonist that produces flexion at the elbow. Antagonist- Muscle whose action opposes that of a particular agonist. Ex.: triceps brachii is an agonist that extends elbow, thus is an antagonist of biceps brachii. Synergist- When a synergist contracts, it helps a larger agonist work efficiently. May provide additional pull near the insertion or may stabilize the point of origin. Fixator- A synergist that may also assist an agonist by preventing movement at another joint and thereby stabilize the origin of the agonist. Actions
